Child Come Away

A
Child come away
         C             Bm   
It's the girl with the deputy 
  A
walking by
A
Child go and play
     C              Bm         A
No I won't give you reasons so don't
 ask why

[Verse 1]
A
I read the story about a week ago
     C                Bm       
They found her on the beach that 
   A
night
A
They thought the light had gone out 
of her eyes
    C                    Bm    
and no-one thinks she'll ever be 
   A
right
C          Em
She was so full of her life
C              D          G
Happy with the people she knew
        C    D      E   E
But then no-one can tell

[Chorus 1]
A
Child come away
         C             Bm   
It's the girl with the deputy 
  A
walking by
A
Child go and play
Continues after the ad
     C              Bm         A
No I won't give you reasons so don't
 ask why

[Verse 2]
A
Guess all they found were some marks
 in the sand
  C             Bm         A
A message saying 'She is mine'
A
Nobody touched her as she got in the
 car
     C      Bm       A
Well nobody dares to anytime
C          Em
She was so full of her life
C                  D         G
The girl that everybody once knew
       C   D          E   E
But now no-one can tell

[Chorus 2]
A
Child come away
         C             Bm   
It's the girl with the deputy 
  A
walking by
A
Child go and play
     C              Bm         A
No I won't give you reasons so don't
 ask why

[Bridge]
E
And when they read a story out to 
the judge
             D
I heard they had to turn away
              A    A C Bm A
It's all over town

A A C Bm A

[Verse 3]
A
I saw her face in the back of a car
   C                  Bm         A
As they were speeding out of town
A
She's got a mark on the side of her 
face
     C             Bm          A
that no-one's ever seen around
E
And what she is or what she's become
            D
I guess the town will never know

[Chorus 3]
A
Child come away
         C             Bm   
It's the girl with the deputy 
  A
walking by
A
Child go and play
     C              Bm         A 
No I won't give you reasons so 
           A A
don't ask why
